yea that will work, but you will have to mount system as R/W thoWhat was it i wanted to ask you, oh yeah...now since we dont have stable CWM yet...if i wanted to install a UOT theme...would using adb to push the modified systemui.apk and frameworkres.apk apply the theme?, or is there another way to install a .zipped theme w/out CWM?
Anyone who is familar with CWM, when you make a NANDROID, you DO get .md5 / .tar files , OR you can convert them. Im just simply clarifying that the ODIN tool DOES in fact work with other models than samsung. Not trying to start a war whatsoever lol, just giving my input.
EDIT: as far as hotspot, Definitely don't ask sprint about that lol. I'm going to look into this myself and see which apps work / don't. I believe there may be a build.prop line I need to edit first...
Nah bro, I know THAT, lol I was asking because I have the LG source and I can build stock images. Just trying to find the time is being a b**** right now.. ;-)
Thank me when we know this will work Ryan.. ;-) lol
Relax bro...this isn't a contest.
Umm.. I never said it was lol I was just saying you said backup and I was thinking more like fresh stock, lol
So, being used to my zte warp forever, I had moved last week ( while waiting on internet install , been using wifi tether app, and noticed within a day my 3g had been throttled intensly...Had to call sprint ..my younger cousin had been playing around and get it removed, ....they claim i just have to do a standard restet ##786#....but being rooted, it doesnt seem to lift the throttle, so I unrooted, now, i should be able to boot into regular recovery mode since i never flashed any cwm correct? I just want my 3g back man they throttled it hard...cant break like 10 kbps lol
Dude, Sprint doesn't throttle, or cap, lol. I've proven that! I've downloaded over 50gigs in one month with no slow down at all.. You said you were moving to an area where you would be lucky to have a signal at all. Sooo, lower signal = lower speed.. I'm sorry man. That's just how it is until they upgrade your area.. :-(
I find it funny/sad/messed up how you bashed that guy who bricked his phone and was worying about something how his parents if they found out about the root b/c of his tethering, and now ya know, you were wrong b/c i just experienced it...And i guess i worded it wrong, my prior home had spotty 3g ,and I assumed this area was spotty, but i had also switched from boost to sprint, so my new home had great 3g....Now, my download speeds literally wont go above like 10 kbps, when i was achieving the best 3g i've ever seen prior to this tether app...and speaking to sprint...Dude, Sprint doesn't throttle, or cap, lol. I've proven that! I've downloaded over 50gigs in one month with no slow down at all.. You said you were moving to an area where you would be lucky to have a signal at all. Sooo, lower signal = lower speed.. I'm sorry man. That's just how it is until they upgrade your area.. :-(
Bro, your 100% wrong. First off, this area actually had good 3g coverage. Now, whether you want to believe it or not...NO they dont throttle you , BUT , if you violate their terms, by using wifi tether and 1 gig of data without paying $10 extra for their tether service, you WILL GET THROTTLED. I had customer service CONFIRM i had a speed cap because I was " transmitting data in an unsupported manner. " So, yeah, ...I waS SHOCKED at first too...kept grabbing my girls phone, seeing if maybe a tower was down, but yeah unfortunately they capped it, but did say it was removed after I explained that my uhm, little cousin had been tethering unknowingly, but I've yet to sucessfully STOCK reset the phone, i unrooted, i went into download mode, have the lg software tool run, the tool says complete, but the phone sticks at download mode, forever, and when i eventually battery pull.....it goes to the halfass recovery that is not stock, its like...whatever was their prior...How exactly can i fully recover? ( I never installed the unstable CWM...therefore i thought my stock recovery is still there, yet when i run it...It's not stock lol...So yeah thats my story, be careful tethering ... and if anyone knows how to help, holla..
Not sure what your asking me,,,, by the way, can u check ur inbox? and if u mean tethering and cap not can, that certain app, the one where a member was compaining how his parents found out or something, i used that app, and after wickiid put the poor kid on BLAST, i found out sprint reallly does monitor/have ability to tell whether or not your tethering data and cap you. (Unless you pay an additional $10 or something /month (tether fee))
I find it funny/sad/messed up how you bashed that guy who bricked his phone and was worying about something how his parents if they found out about the root b/c of his tethering, and now ya know, you were wrong b/c i just experienced it...And i guess i worded it wrong, my prior home had spotty 3g ,and I assumed this area was spotty, but i had also switched from boost to sprint, so my new home had great 3g....Now, my download speeds literally wont go above like 10 kbps, when i was achieving the best 3g i've ever seen prior to this tether app...and speaking to sprint...
EDIT: REGARDLESS: instead of going back and forth, lets all put our minds together and move forward/look into this b/c it's going to cause others some issues.....i dont want to get into a heated debate lol, i want to get a stock image of my phone , a bit confused since i never flashed CWM, why stock recovery doesn't work...
OK, first off, I was never blasting/bashing/flaming/whatever you want to call it. I was explaining things simply, so it was easy to understand, because you never know a persons level of knowledge until you talk to them for a bit. If it came off as me doing as you described, I apologize. I feel bad that I haven't been able to put the stock images together for you all, but for a week straight (yeah, 7 days, lol), I would work all day, and then come home do dishes, and then have to cook, since noone else here really knows how to cook, so the last thing I wanted to do was get online and kill my brain on this stuff. That's how my days have been since I've started working.
As far as the tethering goes, I promise, I was using the tethering app, both on my phone, and my girl's phone, for a month and a half because of not having regular internet during that time. I downloaded over 50gigs on 4g (and 3g from time to time), and never got a cap or throttle, because if they did that, they would be breaking their own TOS, and could easily be sued for false advertising. If you have an unlocked phone that you brought over from boost to sprint, that could be how they caught you, because I was using the exact same app - it may be that I just had it set up right for the Viper - I don't know the exact circumstances why you got caught and I didn't. It may be as simple as being on the stock software, but that's doubtful, since I d/l'd 10 of those 50 on her phone. I would say, if you used Koush's tether app, that could be it too, since he has a bug in it that bottlenecks data (for whatever reason), but eliminated that since you said you used the wifi tether app.
Also, the tethering cost is $30 for 4gigs a month, and $50 for 6, not 10. It maybe 40/50, don't remember exactly, but it's more than 10, and the data amounts are right, that part I remember for sure.
Getting to your recovery problem. I figured out a little trick with the viper, and this will work since you never put on cwmr. If you're fairly tech savvy, enable extensions on win7 (or w/e you use), make a fake update.zip (it can even be a text file called that, lol, because their stock recovery only checks for file name, not size, lmao!), and put it on your msd-card, by whatever means you normally use for that. Reboot using an app or adb reboot recovery, and it will catch the fake update.zip and stop in stock recovery. You can wipe cache and/or data from there safely, even apply the real update manually from there if you have yet to update.
Now hey, I gotta get ready for work. I'll respond to your PM on break, if not, after work.
Peace,

Whats up w/ that man? lol....theres no probs here...i feel like whatever input you have you don't feel like sharing / helping...so...whats that about bro?lol ok now children
Just been busy with the other projects & life, lol I been reading n will post anything of help I can.Whats up w/ that man? lol....theres no probs here...i feel like whatever input you have you don't feel like sharing / helping...so...whats that about bro?
edit: Im aware you are working on multiple projects at once, but if you could lend a few moments of your time i'd appreciate it.
It will boot the the fact reset screen when booting to recovery even with cwm installed. Difference will be with cwm it wont do the fact reset, just boot the fact rest screen, confirm, then it will boot to cwm.
The stock recovery wont ever show up as you know it, just that fact eest screen.
